Tasting Story

The 2022 'Mus'cat' is an invitation to taste the invigorating side of Alice Bouvot's world. Because she avoids the heavy-handed adjustments of industrial winemaking, the wine retains a snappy fruit character and a mineral pulse that conventional whites lose.

Serving Tip

Serve at 8–10°C. A proper chill highlights the wine's citrus energy and helps the delicate floral notes sing.
